Violent far-right extremist have been responsible for 94 of the 108 terrorism fatalities (87 percent) in the United States in the past five years. This included 2022, when 18 of the 19 fatalities occurred during far-right terrorist attacks. www.nytimes.com/2025/09/16/o...

RFKJ intentionally creates doubt, weaponizes the public’s scientific ignorance, and pushes a false balance between fringe ideas and scientific consensus. His fake skepticism encourages harm against children while saying he’s protecting them. It would be malpractice if he were actually a doctor.

⁦‪I spoke with @onofftherecord.bsky.social ‬⁩ about the collapse of the Stop Cop City RICO prosecution. Georgia politicians had a legitimacy problem & tried to fix it by indicting their critics. The problem is, even to abuse the law, you have to read it first. They didn’t.

Georgia AG Chris Carr has failed in biggest attempt ever to use RICO ag't a protest mvt. Why, and what does it mean? www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025... @micahh.bsky.social @dnbrgr.bsky.social @equalityalec.bsky.social @alexvitale.bsky.social @stopcopcity.bsky.social

We are live with today's Cop City RICO motions hearings, where Fulton County Superior Court Judge Kevin Farmer is expected to dismiss counts one and three of the indictment.

Good news! A judge has thrown out most of the Cop City RICO indictment! Georgia’s AG lacked authority to bring Counts 1 & 3, accounting for most of the defendants. The state will appeal & a subset of defendants still face terrorism charges, but this win is something to celebrate.

Michael Thurmond, the former DeKalb County CEO who defied a judge's order and closed a public park by executive order to facilitate a "Cop City" land swap, is now running for Georgia governor. Here's a 2024 Atlanta Press Club Award-nominated photo essay by @nonmodernist.com for @thexylom.com :

I get that he kicked his own drug habit, and that’s great. But his takeaway from that experience seems to have been “prevent else from accessing actual medicine that happens to come in needles.”

It's been nearly two and a half years since 23 people were charged with domestic terrorism at a Stop Cop City music festival. But they haven't been indicted. One of those people, Jamie Marsicano, will appear in DeKalb County Court on Wednesday to argue that her charge should be dismissed.

Excuse the language, but this fucker needs to go. He is a clear and present danger to the health and safety of the nation and even the world.

“Researchers…have created WhoFi, a system which claims to be able to identify individuals by analyzing Wi‑Fi signals…The system tracks people by interpreting how their presence disrupts Wi‑Fi patterns, offering a potential alternative to conventional biometric methods.”

Cool. Cool. Cool. Nothing to see here folks. Just another symptom of the modern era. www.npr.org/2025/07/31/n...

All of <waves hand> is why it's crucial that Dem Party loyalists start to recognize you can't have police that run around in cast-off military gear and do just a lil' surveilling and racial profiling and aggressive protest policing and then expect them to show restraint at the boundaries you choose.

It’s never the right time for open government. But it’s always the right time for corruption! www.theverge.com/news/706635/...

Stop Cop City RICO trials start today. Ayla King has demanded a speedy trial and is the first of 61 defendants accused of breaking Georgia’s sweeping organized crime law. They face the same 20-yr sentence as a mafia boss — for membership in a political movement.

Reading between the lines, Musk’s bid for King of Mars has hit some serious technological snags.

The #ICE #budget will be bigger than FBI, Bureau of Prisons, DEA & others COMBINED. $150 BILLION over 4 years. Bigger than most countries’ militaries. Let that sink in. The police state just got its backing with money that could have been used to build healthy and safe communities for everyone.
